No, installing the Tree Root Guiding root guidance system is straightforward. Very little space is required to install the root guidance panels and there is minimal root removal of existing roots. With new planting, root removal is not necessary. In that case, the root guidance panels are installed during or shortly after planting. This allows young roots to be directed in the desired direction from the outset, without any need for root removal.
You only need to excavate slightly deeper than the existing foundation of the paving, so anchoring roots, also known as support roots, are not disturbed. A trenching bucket with a width of 23 cm is sufficient for this purpose. Tip: after installation, backfill the trench with a mixture containing soil improver. This stimulates the growth of new roots and ensures that the panel is firmly anchored.
